Another Blog After a Bottle of Wine - Entry 571

Fri, 24 May 2013 09:09:37 -0700

I seem to do this often. I start my weekend with a nice meal after work including a bottle of wine. Then I try to type a blog entry...what fun. If I can stay awake I will go the early showing of the new Star Trek movie. I have read where it is not a great movie. We will just have to see it if is true. Speaking of work, glad you asked, it is going well. I found out last night that I was doing something that could have injured me. I didn't receive any training on how to couple a type four light rail vehicle. I was doing it wrong because I had to teach myself. Anyway now that I know the right way I will be careful and do it correctly. And you don't know what I am talking about. That's okay. I work for a public transportation company. One of my jobs at night is to move light rail trains around the rail yard. That includes uncoupling and coupling the individual cars. The type four cars are different than the others. It requires that you manually couple the electrical connection. No one told me I was supposed to turn the train cars off before I connected the cables. Now that I know I will do it right. There was no training in how to do it properly. Flowers of Evil has been on my mind since the last episode. I have this feeling that something bad will happen. It is the same feeling I had while watching School Days. You know where the tension keeps building and you know it will end badly. I think it should have stayed a live action instead of using rotoscope to make it an anime. I don't mind the rotoscoping, but it doesn't add anything. Live action would have been just as good. Well I am going to take a shower and go to see Star Trek...later.

I haven't gotten excited about the voting. My favorites are all trailing, so I don't think they will make the final 16. I may have to find someone who will make the final and support her.

Dozen of Bodies to Clean Up - Entry 567

Fri, 17 May 2013 08:58:56 -0700

Last night as I was going to work, I noticed a lot of ants coming into my condo, crawling under the front door. I was already late so I sprayed some insecticide before I went to work. When I got home from my night of work I saw dozens of ant bodies laying in front of the door. Nothing was moving, I hope the fumes don't make me any dumber than I am already am. I swept up the ant bodies and I hope that is the last of the ant invasion. I probably should not drink a bottle of wine and then try to type a blog entry. I start my weekend so I like to fix a nice meal and have some wine. I am doing my laundry or else I would be asleep by now. Instead I am drunk, listening to the radio and typing on the computer. I don't know how I should feel about the new Railgun anime. It seem to be another version of the clone arc. I have already seen this story. I really like Miikoto and the other girls so I don't mind watching them. But I know the story. It is a repeat of a story arc. I guess I will keep watching, maybe there will be something new. God, what a stupid paragraph. Blame it on the wine. My supervisor said I was doing a "hell of a job". I know I am doing a good job but it is nice that others notice. It has been three weeks since I started my new job. I still work for the same company it just a new shift. Anyway the work is great, but I am having trouble getting used to the hours. I work 10:30pm to 6:30am. I feel tired all the time. It seems that I go the sleep and then my weekend is over, Then it is time to go back to work. Well crap...I can't think of anything else to type so I should just go to bed. Besides I am making too many mistakes. One error for every word. Time to stop. Bye!

Random Thoughts - Entry 563

Thu, 09 May 2013 20:30:25 -0700

I'm tired...there I said it. I have been working a night shift for two weeks and I am always tired. I like the work so I will just have to get used to the lack of sleep. Once school gets out it will be harder to sleep than it is now. One more night of work and then I start my two days off. Only thing planned for my days off is to buy the latest volume of Dance in the Vampire Bund. I like to buy the manga then go to a coffee shop to read it and drink a mocha. Now that I think about it that's really sad if that is all I have to look forward to. Oh well that is my life... I am caught up on my current anime watching. I can watch several shows each day before work so I can stay current without much problem. Flowers of Evil is one of the new anime that I am watching. I cringe when I start watching, it is so creepy. It is fascinating. I want to see what will happen next. I just feel that something bad is going to happen. I am temped to put this on hold until it is finished. Then get drunk while I watch the remaining episodes, just get it over in one shot. I like all the anime on my watching list, but Flowers stands out by being so different. I finished watching Family Outing. It is a Korean variety show that aired about four years ago. I am still watching two other Korean variety shows: Running Man and We Got Married. I am surprised that I am still watching WGM; it sucked me in and now I am hooked. Running Man is just a great show. I really love it. I probably should find a Kdrama to start watching. I have the time. I need to find something to watch that has already finished airing. Well I think I will waste some time on YouTube before I go to work. See ya later.

Wasting Time Before Work - Entry 562

Sun, 28 Apr 2013 21:20:26 -0700

My week vacation is almost over, less than an hour before I leave for work. I will be working a new job starting tonight. The hours are 10:30pm to 6:30am. It has been a few years since I have worked a night shift. I hope the hours will be okay. I changed my job because I could not stand the work I was doing. I like the old hours and days off, but I was miserable. I didn't want to do or say something that would get me fired so I changed jobs. I sort of have an idea what I will be doing. I know I will move light rail vehicles around the rail yard, clean the shop and repair vandalism inside the trains. I will just have to see what the night brings. I didn't go anywhere over my vacation, didn't want to spend any money. All I did was eat too much and stare at my computer screen. I sampled some different Korean variety shows. One of them was Family Outing. I started with season two since I recognized more of the performers on season two than on season one. But now I have started watching season one. I tried watching Infinity Challenge, but I didn't really get the humor. It was mostly a dialogue show from the ones I saw. I started with the special where three cast members go to New York and perform with PSY on a New Years Eve show. I have enough shows to watch right now. I may give it another try later if I run out of things to watch. Well I have wasted enough time...time to go to work.
